It’s been months since we last paid a visit to the Department of Incredible Inflatable Art. Today we’re checking out the awesome balloon sculptures of Japanese artist Masayoshi Matsumoto. Matsumoto-san uses nothing but balloons, and only balloons, to create all sorts of colorful animals that range from cute and cartoonish to impressively lifelike as well as pop culture-inspired characters from anime, video games, and more.
